I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK!!! There are no other words to describe how much I loved the book. :) The book is about a Mexican boy named Alejandro "Alex" Fuentes... Shexy :3 Anyways... He is sort of the classic Mexican boy, he is in a gang, is going to drop out of high school, lives on the wrong side of town, would do anything for his family. and all that stuff. He then makes a bet with his friends that he is going to get the rich "white" girl to sleep with him. This rich white girl is Brittany Greene. She has a "perfect life." Perfect grades, perfect boyfriend, rich, head cheerleader. Everything. But, in reality she has a hard home life. Her sister is mentally challenged and needs help. Her parents are always working, or when her mom is there all she does is criticize Brittany. In this bet, they start to fall for each other. Slowly but surely. Alex shows Brittany what he is like, his hopes and dreams. And Brittany opens up to Alex, and they fall in love.
I loved this book so much. I absolutely devoured it :) it was fast paced and detailed sort of, at times, lacked details. I sort of had to guess what the characters looked like. Also I loved that the characters were human and imperfect. I love imperfect characters, and this just made the story much more realistic. Another thing... I loved that is was in both their point of views, it told both sides of the stories and made it that much better.
"Mamacita I have already lost control..."
Alex just made me melt with happiness :3
What I found sort of annoying was how fast they moved. The book starts at the beginning of their senior year in August, and then the main event happens in October 31st. Just one month of getting to know each other and falling in love, it was very fast, but I still absolutely loved it. Also the epilogue almost killed me!! From happiness!! It was just so sweet and a perfect ending, reveling more of their future together. : )
